The rules for this blog meme are quite simple.
-Post the link and first sentence from the first blog entry for each month of the past year.
I originally did this meme, after seeing similar posted by Janet Stemwedel and John Lynch. Last year's edition is here and the 2008 edition is here.

Jan: A recent discussion thread moved into the topic of proper/improper expenditures under NIH grant awards. [link]

Feb: I’ve been keeping an eye on the situation in which the OSU President quashed the funding of an imminent NIH research award because it was “controversial” and “not in the best interest of OSU”. [link]

Mar: Every now and again I get a request to provide information to an individual who writes for a mainstream media print outlet. [link]
